Updated 11:42 pm, Friday, May 30, 2014

Freshman Cal Quantrill pitched a four-hitter to lead Stanford to an 8-1 rout of Indiana State in the opening game of the Bloomington (Ind.) Regional on Friday.

Quantrill (6-5) struck out six and walked two in his second complete game.

"What kept us off balance was just throwing all three pitches for strikes," Indiana State's Jacob Hayes said.

Stanford's Jack Klein drilled a three-run homer in the sixth as the Cardinal (31-23) scored four times in the inning to go up 5-0.

"It was probably one of the best feelings of my entire life," Klein said of his first collegiate home run.

On Saturday, the Cardinal will play host Indiana, which ripped Youngstown State 10-2. All regionals are double-elimination events.

In other games involving Pac-12 teams, host Oregon State edged North Dakota State 2-1 in the Corvallis Regional, Arizona State (33-23) lost 3-2 to Pepperdine (40-16) in the San Luis Obispo Regional and Oregon (42-18) handed Clemson (36-23) an 18-1 humbling in the Nashville Regional.

Washington's game against Georgia Tech in the Oxford (Miss.) Regional was postponed by rain and rescheduled for Saturday.
